pilates
Created by Joseph Pilates, a physical therapy pioneer, focuses on strengthening and stretching the body resulting in long, lean muscles.
Using specially designed equipment, Pilates offers low impact physical conditioning and creates a balance of strength and flexibility. An added focus on core stability and strength helps realign the entire body and counter the effects of gravity, resulting in improved overall strength, coordination, energy, and flexibility.

CrossCore® Rotational Bodyweight Training
Is a suspended bodyweight training system that engages the entire body.
By adding rotational movement to suspended body weight training exercises using a pulley system, a new and more intense challenge is introduced.
Rotational movement helps gain stability and strengthens the core. It allows you to target individual muscles or an entire muscle group. Changing the position and angle of your body can increase or decrease the resistance.
Benefits:
- Improves balance and coordination
- Increases core inclusion
- Boosts strength and agility
